We are a group of parents, teachers, and high school students in Somers, NY that got together and designed, implemented, and improved a Hands-On Science Fair model for Intermediate students (3rd through 5th grade in our district).
For the 3 months leading to the big event, 5th grade students prepare an experiment that they will host at their station and teach, hands-on (big emphasis!!) to 3rd, 4th and 5th grade students. The Demo leaders, repeat their experiment through out the night to traveling teams that spend the night enjoying 7 different experiments. Each experiment is planned for 10 minutes, which includes, problem statement, hypothesis, safety and procedural instructions, hands on experiment by all participants, and results discussion.
The event is a blast! for students and parents alike!
